Remote northern reserve with unique wildlife and landscapes

About Samburu

Samburu National Reserve is located in northern Kenya along the Ewaso Nyiro River and offers a remote, authentic safari experience. This pristine reserve is known for its unique and diverse wildlife, including species not found elsewhere in Kenya such as the reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, and the beisa oryx. The dramatic red earth and rocky outcrops create stunning landscapes perfect for photography. With fewer tourists than southern reserves, Samburu offers an intimate wilderness experience. The reserve is home to Samburu pastoralist communities, offering visitors insights into traditional African cultures.
